About Bar Goa, an Indian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar

Bar Goa, an Indian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar, offers an authentic Goan-influenced dining experience with a modern touch. It is a trendy spot in River North, making reservations especially recommended for weekends. The restaurant features a patio for nicer weather and has a bright, modern ambiance that is a bit darker, which can make it a little hard to see at times. The service is quick and friendly, and the drinks are strong and flavorful, including options like mango sangria and the smoky global nomad II. The food all comes out very fast, which is great for hungry guests. Popular appetizers include ghee roast aloo chaat and amritsari kulcha, both praised for their flavors and toppings. The kulcha is served with chickpea curry and mint chutney, which pairs well. The dal makhani is served with rice and is enough for a meal, being sweet, spicy, and very creamy. The menu features dishes like butter chicken croquettes, butter chicken slider, and fried coriander chicken wings, which are tasty and satisfying. The chili paneer is super-crispy and spicy, one of the better Indo-Chinese items recently sampled. Overall, the food is good, the environment is modern and trendy, but portions can be small, and it may not be the most kid-friendly.
